The Summer Course Design Institute is designed to guide participants through the instructional design and redesign process. The program begins with an intensive, five-day summer institute followed by optional on-demand consultations with the Faculty educational designers. Financial support for further development of the course may also be available through your school. The summer institute will provide participants with the skills, knowledge, and support necessary to foster a learner-centred environment.

During the Course Design Institute, a team of peer facilitators will assist participants in the principles, methods, and strategies of backward design and course alignment. Each phase of the facilitation process is designed to model diverse pedagogical principles, including learner-centred teaching and active-learning techniques. Participants are placed in a small-group learning community for the duration of the institute, allowing for rich exchange and collaboration among peers.
